Halocho #1388 - No more meat leftovers!

From Rosh Chodesh Av (tonight - Sunday evening) until midday on 10th Av (10 August) is the period known as the "9 days". 

The custom is to not eat meat and chicken and to not drink wine during the "9 days", except on Shabbat. 

Food cooked together with meat should not be eaten - even if one doesn't eat the meat. 

Those who need to eat meat (or drink wine) for health reasons, may do so. If possible, even they should refrain (with the Doctor's permission) from the 7th of Av; the day the Romans entered the Bet Hamikdash. 

At a Se'udat Mitzva (a Mitzva meal) - a Brit, Pidyon HaBen or Siyum - one may serve meat and wine. 

Besides for close family, one may invite up to 10 friends one would normally invite.
